by the floral decorations. They are
extremely rich, and available for other

The marriage fees of some clergy
men must have amounted to more than
their salaries this fall. There is hardly
any service a man so willingly pays
out his money for, unless it be for q
divorce some years later. The pastor
of q wealthy church welded rich
man recently to very beautiful girl,
who had been an intimate friend for
years of the parsons wife. She started
from the church door on trip to Eu-
rope, and as the minister shook, con-
gratulatingly, the hand of the new
groom, he felt hard substance slipped
into his own. 1t turned out to be a
handsome locket pendant, with the
brides initials and those of the pastors
wife done in diamonds.
I'll put your picture in it at once"
said the pleased lady; lit is the first
wedding fee that has come to me-"
So she posted off to the photographer

tunes they make. The demand ex-
ceeds the supply. SO one clever
woman buys remnants of white satin
or MORE, and rends the pieces into
patches to suit her customers.
At recent wedding the bride deter
mined to improve on the fioral-bell
business. AS her own and her bride
groom's names began with w, the
florist got up rather luat, long
drawn-out w. Not soul caught it's
significance, but q guest described the
ceremony as being performed under a
nice floral yoke. Flowers are the rule
at all swell weddings, and in fragrance
and beauty the new life should always
be begun. A lady determined to be
unique, if anything, in her wedding APP
pointments. She was mass of pearls
pearls edged top, bottom, and sides
of her fro k; sprays of pearls and flow
ers confined her veil; and few clus-
tiers of the same, with gathered
fiounce of point lace around them, she
carried in her hand as bridal bouquet
1t was stiff and notwithstanding. Her
dear old mother came in behind her
with mass of white lilac in the folds
of her lace handkerchief that crossed
her bosom, and huge bouquet of the
fragrant blossoms in her white-gloved
hands. She looked more like bride,
with all these towers and silver silk
grey gown, than did her stately daugh-
ter, and the clergyman looked so often
at her that it is dollars to doughnuts
he married ma to the man instead Of

and ordered reduced head of her hus-
band. She had hardly got home when
messenger informed her that folded
and refolded and jammed in behind
the glass they had found hundred
dollar bill. The Rev. Mr.. and Mrs.
Psalter Service are waiting anxiously a
letter from the other side to know to
whom the money belongs, as the Mrs.
Rev. DIR. S. VOWS it belongs to the
locket, and the locket belongs to her.
The remaining plate is devoted
to bridesmaids. A wide scope is per-
mitted to them by fashion, and they
may indulge in almost any fancy cos
tune, though all must dress alike, and
the bride is commonly dictator. The
gowns pictured are excellent mod
els for home or elsewhere use, and they
embody the latest ideas.
The craze for bits OF wedding cake to
dream on has given place to a mania
for patches of wedding dresses to in
corporate into quilts. OF course, the
dressmaker is the source from which
these pieces are CLEANED. Who ever
heard of dressmaker sending bits
home to patch bridal dress? SO the
modistes are besieged by their Gus

Outworn and weary old and gray,
The helpless world in darkness lay;
AMI sins and sorrows, woe and crimo,
Swart shadows Of an iron time,
Shmuded life with cheerless pail.
Wit death the hopeless end of all,
The prophet and the sage were dumb,
Seeing no hope nor comfort come.
But there shone a light in the East,
And the night was done;
And all were bid to the feast
OF hope begun,
When was born the victim and the priest,
In Mary's Son.
Then the seed of-the ancient Writ
To harvest came;
The band of a Child unknit
The web of shame,
An the fires of faith were lit
With his love-orbed name.
Through the quivering CULTS Of tears
Still darkling flow;
Though winds of the storm-vexed years
Watt men to woe;
To the dim-seen mark the helmsman steers
BY the beacon's glow.
Dear Child, whose heaven-lit eyes
Scan all mans i'll
With the hope that never dyes
Prop our poor will,
And let thy sacratco
Our spirits fill
Though outcast at the rich mans gate,
The beggar Laz,rus weep and wait;
Though want and woe and cruel things,
And many bitter sufferings
Deface this day Of sacred mirth,
No hope that springs not from thy birth
May put the evil shapes TO fight,
Cut down the wrong and build the right.
Though chill unfaith, though mists of doubt
May grid our brothers round about,
Let no foot fail, let no soul stray
Forever from the holy way,
Father, that vast Ger time began,
And brother of thy brother, man!

A BIT OF HISTORY.
How the Late Major Waelder Sue
Ceeded in Law.

How the Late Major Waelder Sue
ceeded in Law.
A gentleman who has lived many
years In San Antonio and was oontem-
poraneous with the late Major Waelder,
gives the press the following account OF
how the deceased lawyer first began to
acquire a lucrative practice in San
Antonio:
1t was In 1854, think" said he, 'The
major had been here not quite two
years, and was struggling along very
poorly, unable to gain any practice, all
the litigSnts going past his modest
shingle as though 1t had never been
hung out at all. Finally he hit up the
idea Of volunteering his services as
prosecuting attorney In all criminal
cases that came before the court. He
would receive no pay whatever, and
soon his powers as prosecuting attOr-
ney began to be feared by criminals and
appreciated by his brother lawyers and
the public In general. Soon 1t came
about that whenever big case
came up, 1t was not Waelder who was
on the side Of the state to prosecute, but
1t was Waelder retained for the defense,
with good fee. From that time on his
reputation was established. Soon after
this he formed very judicious oopsrt-
nership with brilliant attorney named
Henson, afterwards Judge Henson
who was a graduate Of the law schools
Of Harvard and Of Yale. Henson was
then a well established attorney and
greatly trusted and admired for his great
ability. From that time on the major
forged ahead"
1t will be interesting to know that the
judge, Henson, referred to by this gen.
tlemsn is yet alive, though Is now an OBJ
ject OF charity, being supported by the
county of Bexar.
